3D SECURE SECURITY PAGE

The 3d Secure authentication is an additional fraud prevention scheme that is available to all companies using the Sage Pay systems to process transactions.  

It allows shoppers to create and assign a password to their card that is then verified whenever a transaction is processed through a site that supports the use of the scheme. The addition of password protection allows extra security on transactions that are processed online.

3D Secure stands for 3 Domain Server, there are 3 parties that are involved in the 3D Secure process : 

  • The company the purchase is being made from.
  • The Acquiring Bank
  • VISA and MasterCard (the card issuers themselves)

As 3D Secure is controlled by VISA and MasterCard the following cards can be used: VISA, VISA DELTA, MASTERCARD, MASTERCARD DEBIT, INTERNATIONAL MAESTRO, UK MAESTRO, LASER, and VISA ELECTRON.

Western Power Steering is not responsible for any of your 3D Secure details or passwords, any problem using this secure service please contact your bank directly or reset your 3D Secure password and try again.

If the 3D Secure password page is not loading correctly this could be because:

  • 3D Secure is currently unavailable.

This could only be temporary disruption to the scheme but if you are unable to complete your transaction contact Western power steering directly. If needed we will be able to arrange another for another payment method.

If you have entered your card details and you are stuck on the 3D Secure page then no funds will have been taken from your account.

ARE MY CARD DETAILS SECURE?

Before entering your card details on the payment page, there are a few things you can look for to ensure the page is secure. All Sage Pay payment pages are regularly audited by an independent auditor to make sure they comply with the latest security standards.

Is there a padlock?

A padlock image shows that your details are being collected securely using 128 bit SSL technology. Clicking on the padlock will show you the SSL certificate. Depending on what Internet web browser you're using, the padlock can be located in 3 different areas

  • Bottom right-hand corner
  • Next to the address bar
  • Top right-hand corner

What else can you look for?

If you can't see the padlock on the payment page, make sure the URL starts with 'https' instead of 'HTTP'. The extra 's shows you the page is secure.
